Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition

Attention 2020 Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition Applicants:

In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we know many 2020 award and recognition applicants are concerned about attending the Convocation ceremony, scheduled for July 18, 2020 in Las Vegas, NV.  While we sincerely hope that the pandemic will be contained within the next few weeks, AGD leadership has confirmed that all applicants approved to receive the 2020 will be able to receive their award in 2020 even if they are not able to attend the Convocation ceremony.

Approval notifications have been emailed to all applicants.  If you applied for the 2020 Fellowship or Mastership Award or the 2020 Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition and have not received an email confirmation from AGD please email education@agd.org.

For detailed information about AGD2020 and Convocation please see the information listed under FOR AWARDEES.

Recognition for Lifelong Learning

In AGD, continued learning persists even after members have earned Mastership. AGD Masters can continue demonstrating their commitment to lifelong learning and service to the community and/or organized dentistry by earning Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition (LLSR). Here’s how you can apply for LLSR.

LLSR Requirements

To be eligible for LLSR, you must complete the following requirements:

• Maintain current AGD membership for three continuous year by Dec. 31 of the year in which the application is received
• Be an AGD Master
• Earn a minimum of 500 CE hours after receiving the Mastership Award, 150 of which must be participation hours. Hours must be earned in at least eight of the 17 recognized clinical subject areas.
• Accumulate 100 service points in any combination of dental-related community/volunteer service and/or service to organized dentistry; only those services performed since the date Mastership was received or since a previous LLSR was received are eligible

For more information, download the LLSR Guidelines.

• A LLSR Application
• Written verification of your volunteer activities; use the Volunteer Service Verification Form to document your volunteer activities
